I don’t know how familiar you are with the english language but i think it was pretty clear that this wasn’t a serious question. It was rhetorical. Something like "You quite like cars, don’t you?"

[@nrvous309]

I'd love to see this on track compared to a Viper ACR. New vs Old'school

[@Porsche1969]

You are a clown dude! The ACR was even 6 seconds slower than a base 992 911 GT3 (ACR 7:01 minutes). A 992 GT3 RS wipes totally its ass with it, and the Manthey GT3 RS will be around 25 seconds faster.

[@gt7984]

Top Gear actually going in depth? This was really interesting, that Manthey guy clearly knows exactly what he's talking about, probably an engineer as well

[@MaartenOosterbaan]

I'll probably get hate for this (again)...but if/when they get 8 seconds off, it'll be 6.36.8...and that is extremely fast...my point is, I would still have expected more from an AMG-One than being 7s faster than a car that has half the horsepower and is at best 8% lighter.... and cost 1/5th of the price. I know every second at that high-end comes at a high price...the AMG-One has a F1 drive-train, it's a Hyper-Car....

[@rkwjunior2298]

Whole heartedly agree. How much time Porsche/Manthey are able to remove from lap times with 515hp is outrageously insane. I can appreciate that engineering. If its not 1000hp+ it's not kool on KZbin. For me, this car is leagues above the hyper cars ans worth the markup it has.

[@StornofuerKasse3]

6:36 would be on the "short" circuit. The compared time to the one would be 6:41, which is a bigger gap but having in mind, that the record was set with the race mode, which technically you are not allowed to drive on the road and on the nordschleife during tourist drives. So with the street legal mode the RS would possibly wipe his exhaust pipes with the ones time.

[@danieldickerson4838]

The AMG One weighs 3,737lbs, was on street tires, and bottomed out hard in several sections. It putting down a sub 6:30 time is absolutely insane for a road legal car, and we shouldn’t at all be diminishing that. If Porsche, or really MR, get within 8 seconds of that by giving the GT3 RS even more aero, great. The ring is Porsche’s back yard, it’s obvious they’re going to optimize the hell out of the car to extract every last bit of performance out of for a flying lap. Would this take away from the absolutely monstrous time the AMG One put down? No, and it makes little sense for people to start believing so. It’s the first sub 6:30 road legal car on the ring, that alone gives it a level of prestige that can’t be taken away.

[@MaartenOosterbaan]

@@danieldickerson4838 not saying the AMG-One wasn't insanely fast...just kinda expected more, is the point...btw the GT3 RS MR also is road legal...so I mean that's also going to set a time on road legal tyres then.

[@MaartenOosterbaan]

@@StornofuerKasse3 the original GT3 RS time is also set in the time of the new measurement location...so I don't understand why the 8 seconds faster wouldn't be against that. Or am I subtraction 8s of the 'shorter' measurement and the 6.29 is the longer measurement?

Moving hot air away? I really wanna know if it make that much difference for intake temperature

[@runnerbaba]

without the engine would make around 20hp less in the summer (they told this on the stock gt3rs)

[@gxlbiscuit]

I have a car that has a vented hood like this from the factory and an engine in the back. It does just this and it also pumps hot air into the cockpit. The air that comes out is indeed very hot and air temperature affects air density and heat reduces the quantity of air molecules less air less boom pow. They dont sell “cold air intakes” for no reason.

[@-Gemini-]

For who maybe didn't understand the equation drag=emission: if you have more drag, you need to push more revs to have the same speed. :)

[@cortizo1236]

what does emission have to do with drag? can someone explain?

[@alexsam2630]

If you have more drag then the engine works harder at higher speeds , meaning more fuel is burned,meaning you have worst emmisions. Simple.
